As the Empress pondered, Bai Yehua reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, when I came here, I saw Princess Xinyue and Lady He going to Putuo Temple to offer incense. Behind them was a girl, dressed simply but with a graceful demeanor. Regardless of whether she is a mistress or a servant, I wish to marry her."
"Hmph!" Shen Yu scoffed. Who was Bai Yehua? She knew perfectly well that Bai Yehua just wanted to marry He Yuan.
You must know that He Yuan is her aunt's daughter. It is said that He Yuan is interested in Wang Baoyu, the son of the Minister of Revenue.

"Fish?"
Looking towards the sound, Liu Yu had arrived and was sitting on the stone bench opposite him.
She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and smiled, "I just got some tears in my eyes."
"Fish, could you please help me read this letter and tell me what it says?"
